It was not long ago that I was clean shaved, suited up and standing at a podium giving a keynote speech.  The next day I was motivating kids about veteran’s day by having them march and take funny pictures in formation etc.  Immediately after, I was getting right back at what happens “Behind the Scenes” of a start up.  The constant dedication and working on whatever is needed to get the company to the point needed to the next point needed until it is ready for “exit” or whate

I believe I have my own way of developing new ideas.  Personally, every time I think of a new idea,  begin a new blog, prepare for a meeting, presentation and/or whatever it may be – the development process is different, that “Aha” moment comes from a different source.  I go off into a corner or just off on my own some where – I need to be alone with my headphones and music to let my mind and head just focus on ideas.  My head starts to nod and my mind starts to focus with my

“I find strength in MUSIC – those that work on something that they are passionate about will understand where this is coming from…” When I started on this journey I had no idea of what I was truly in for – this concept of Entrepreneurship is something that I studied in graduate school at one of the most premier institutions in the world – THE WHARTON SCHOOL…  However, little did I know that what I learned in the classroom would not truly prepare me for this journey.   There

When I was writing my speech for the Keynote address for Veteran’s Day.  I believe I had less than a week to come up with a 20 minute speech and I went through 40 to 50 iterations up until the day of the event fine tuning the speech.  At 2am the morning of the event I was still rearranging paragraphs to make the flow just right.  Am I a perfectionist?
